Full of prose written in a poetic way, this narrative examines a family and their home through multiple viewpoints and stories of yesteryear. It explores culture in a fresh voice and was very interesting to read. Put it on your reading list - you won't be disappointed!

A thrilling new contender in the young adult genre! Follow Jake, a seemingly typical teenage boy with a less than typical talent - he can find people by "tunneling" to them with his mind. When the truth comes out, Jake finds himself wanted by the government, and has to decide who is on his side. The characters are fun, some of the story is a little cheesy but overall this is a great read.

A decently interesting book following the struggle of one family through the generations of adapting to a new country. The characters were well-thought, but the story didn't have anything to make it a really standout book that would make me rave. It was just a good, solid book.
